AN: Well my last attempt at this went over...Ok-ish. It was among one of my most popular stories, until my most recent fic, but a lot of the hiccups and overall shitty-ness of it had to do with my own stumblings as a relatively new writer. Also due to the fact that I gave WAY too much say so to the readers. Again, also due to my own clueless stumblings as I tried to figure out what the hell I wanted to happen.

That all said, with my improved style and thought process, I've decided to sort of revive this story...sort of. There will be some similarities, but honestly this is gonna be an entirely different venture, hence the new title.

Ground rules:

1) Naruto will be strong, but not full on god mode. Why? This isn't Naruto from the end of the series. This is like Pein arc, possibly a little later Naruto. That said, some canon stuff will have been tweaked to my liking.

2) This will be a harem, it's kind of mandatory when it comes to DxD. Harem members will be listed after.

3) This isn't really meant to be some grandiose tale. This story is not meant to be taken all that seriously. Some cool shit will happen, there will be some drama, and there will be badassery. 'Nough said.

4) if you do not like my style of writing or any of the above stated, feel free to flame but I will simply giggle and laugh at your need to be a fucking ass hat on the Internet to make yourself feel better. Genuine criticism is always welcome. Not liking this story because it doesn't line up with your PERSONAL tastes and ranting about that in the form of a review or pm is not criticism. It's you being immature.

All that ugly business out of the way, I hope that some may find this story entertaining enough to follow, favorite, and share. Hell leaving reviews is great, even a simple "I like this!" is appreciated.

Harem at this point: Rias, Akeno, Grayfia, and possibly Koneko. I've yet to decide. Have a problem, with the harem members? Too damn bad.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a huge dick, but past experience with this crossover and recent dealings with my RWBY crossover have shown me that if I don't put my foot down from the start, then it just becomes a mess and a hassle to deal with later on.

Enjoy.

Naruto Uzumaki: Shinobi, prankster, Sage, and Jinchūriki to the fearsome Kyūbi no Kitsune, had to wonder how he found himself in the most absurd situations without even trying.

From the day he had received his headband signifying his being a loyal shinobi in service to Konoha and the Land of Fire onwards, his life had been one harrowing event after another. First mission outside his village had him going up against a greedy little tyrant, his thugs, and the A rank rogue shinobi he had hired.

Of course, being the complete badass he was, he helped to liberate the small nation of Wave Country from the iron grips of the shady business mogul Gato and even got a huge ass bridge named after him for his efforts.

From there it was a downhill slope of battling one of the most evil rogue nin his village was responsible for, a crazed and murderous fellow Jinchūriki, being sent out to find the next Hokage, and eventually finding out that there was group of nine S ranked missing-nin who wanted to liberate him and his fellow containers of their Bijū burdens. Of course being the awesome shinobi he was, Naruto met all obstacles head on and managed to save a few damsels in distress along the way.

Now don't get Naruto wrong, he enjoyed getting to witness some of the pretty amazing stuff the world had to offer and meeting new people as much as the next guy. Heck the fact that doing aforementioned activities usually led to him getting to fight some rather powerful opponents was a big plus for him. But he wasn't insane.

He didn't enjoy knowing that his mere presence meant danger for his precious people, he didn't enjoy having to fight knowing he may well die if he made the slightest slip up, and he certainly didn't enjoy losing those close to him as the days went on.

So when he had been forcibly thrust into this new world where there was no threat of Akatsuki, where he didn't have to be involved in the petty shinobi politics and lifestyle, he took it in stride and decided to treat it as a vacation. Being in constant overdrive was not good for one's health after all.

Surprisingly his tenant/grudging partner was not at all displeased by the change either, satisfied that he would no longer have to worry about being subjugated to any damn Uchiha's or their cursed eyes.

And so the two irrevocably bound partners used a few shinobi tricks and integrated themselves into the new society with little problem. Of course it wasn't all fun and games and Naruto was highly irritated when he found out that due to his age he was legally bound to attend a school of some sort. When an odd man with hair as red as one of his clansmen randomly offered him a spot as a student at the highly prestigious Kuoh Academy, the blond threw caution to the wind and agreed, not even bothering to ask who the man was or why he was apparently going around offering full scholarships to random strangers.

Naruto was wary of the deal coming back to bite him in the ass, having not had such great luck with similar dealings in the past. A few months into the school year and after having gained a small following thanks to his roguish good looks and nothing of note happening, Naruto shrugged it off and decided he was just being overly paranoid.

Looking down at the spear of condensed light energy that was currently now taking up the space where his lower abdomen and several organs used to be as the Kyūbi laughed uproariously, Naruto was cursing himself for being so careless. Really by now he should've known that when he was involved, looking a gift horse in the mouth was probably the smarter thing to do.

Turning his head, Naruto casually observed a scantily clad woman with black wings - yup those were definitely wings - as she proceeded to give one of Naruto's younger classmates, some perv named Issei, the same treatment she had just given him.

Her job done, the very busty winged woman took to the sky and left the two teens there to bleed out to death. Naruto of course scoffed at the woman's arrogance and carelessness. It had taken him many years and some painful wounds to learn that leaving an enemy because they were defeated or looked to be dying would only come back to bite you in the ass.

Rising from his kneeling position, Naruto gripped the shaft of the weapon and began to pulse the highly corrosive chakra of his partner into it, polluting the energy and making it turn a shade of angry orange. Within seconds the weapon collapsed into dust, eaten by the dominant source of energy. As the feeling of malice and hate began to drown the surrounding area, Naruto's body was engulfed in a layer of burning orange, the energy focused on his wound as it began to knit flesh back together and even regrow the organs that had been damaged.

Uzumaki longevity powered by the strongest of the Nine Tailed Beasts was pretty great like that. Take that Sasuke!

Turning around, Naruto raised a brow upon seeing the curious eyes of fellow classmate Rias Gremory. The only reason he knew her name or anything about her was that she was first off possibly the most popular and sought after student at Kuoh, deemed one of the schools great beauties or something. Other than that, he was honestly just quite attracted to her vibrant red locks.

Had nothing to do with her generous bust or anything. Or the fact that she had accidentally given him an up skirt peek on his first day at Kuoh.

Nope.

...damn hormones.

"You should be dead," Rias stated calmly, as if seeing someone heal from having a spear skewered through them was an everyday occurrence.

Then again where he was from people walking on water and blowing out flames from their mouths was normal, so who was he to talk?

Naruto shrugged before cockily replying, "Gonna take a lot more than some stupid spear to put me down -ttebayo!"

Rias raised an elegant brow as she crossed her arms under chest, further accentuating her assets. Naruto could swear he heard the buttons of her already stretched blouse cry out in agony as they tried with all their might to contain the fleshy globes.

Poor Jiraiya probably would've died of blood loss by now, Kami rest his perverted soul.

"You're not human, are you Uzumaki-san?" Came the inevitable question.

Naruto shrugged again. It was the truth as well. He really honestly had no clue. He had been born from a Jinchūriki mother and minutes later was forced to house the soul and power of the split portion of a Primordial God that his mother originally had. Growing up and having that energy constantly filtered into his body probably didn't lend much to his humanity either. Then there was the whole becoming a Sage thing.

Even his fuzzy tenant doubted he was human anymore, or at least fully human.

Surprised at the seeming lack of care the blond had in regards his humanity, Rias was forced to remember how generally carefree and easygoing the teen was. He seemed to get along well with everyone and from what her friend Sona said, was rather intelligent in an unorthodox way. His grades weren't stellar by any means, average at best, but he managed to get said grades by barely applying himself. He seemed generally disinterested in school as a whole and was often caught either sleeping or pulling some prank, though the complexity of the pranks were telling of his intelligence.

That and he could never get the blame placed on him, something which frustrated Sona and the faculty to no end. They knew he was responsible, they just had no solid evidence to say so.

A cough drew both of their attentions, and the two teens sweat dropped in unison as they had completely forgotten about their schoolmate who was currently bleeding out all over the grass.

'Whoops!' Naruto nervously chuckled to himself, especially ashamed considering the fact that he had originally gotten involved so he could save the brown haired teen. Of course he wasn't exactly prepared for the winged woman to start throwing around spears of light seeing as how he thought no one could use chakra these days. Caught unawares, he had ended up as a human kabob.

Shaking her head, Rias kneeled down, "Do you want to live Issei Hyoudou?"

His vision already fading as darkness encroached, the perverted teen managed a feeble nod. Rias acknowledged the nod and pulled out a black chess piece, a Pawn if Naruto recalled right. She then placed the piece on Issei's chest and chanted, "Then from this day forward you will live for my sake. Be reborn as a Pawn of the Gremory family!"

Naruto's interest was peaked when archaic seals of some sort formed around the pair and began to glow a red as vibrant as Rias' hair. Naruto quirked an eyebrow as the piece sunk into Issei's chest, and for a moment the blond could sense that Issei's heart had stopped beating, meaning the teen had died. That quickly changed as the pervert's heart began to pump at a rate faster than should be humanly possible. The Jinchūriki narrowed his eyes as he could feel the younger teen's chakra die off and change, polluted by a much darker source of energy.

As fast as it had come, the process stopped, Issei now unconscious but breathing, albeit shallowly.

Yet another circle of seals and runes appeared, this time bringing with it another of Naruto's classmates, one Akeno Himejima, Kuoh's other great beauty or some such. Naruto was never one for titles.

The beauty smiled upon seeing a familiar mop of blond hair, "Naruto-kun!"

In turn the former shinobi grinned and offered a wave, "Ohayo Akeno-nee."

The raven haired beauty pouted, "Mou~ what have I told you Naruto-kun?"

Naruto sighed, "Ohayo Akeno-chan."

Unaware that her long time friend and Queen was well acquainted with Kuoh's crowned Prank King and goofball, Rias coughed into her hand to gain back their attention.

"Ah. Buchou, how can I help you?"

Rias had to resist the very strong urge to face palm as Akeno completely disregarded the brown haired teen with a whole in his stomach only feet from her.

"Akeno, I need you to take Hyoudou-kun back to his house and heal him please."

Looking down the busty beauty finally took note of the unconscious form of Issei before placing hand to her mouth as she chuckles, "Ufufu, I didn't know you liked them younger Buchou."

Rias shook her head in exasperation, "Just please do it Akeno."

Carelessly picking up Issei like he was a sack of potatoes, Akeno titled her head, "If I may ask, what will you be doing Buchou?"

Rias turned her aquamarine eyes back to a certain blond who was currently...arguing with himself? Eyes widening Rias noticed that there was now indeed two very much so identical whiskered teens, both glaring at the other.

"That's bullshit! I went through the trouble of going to get the ramen, I should get a cut of it!"

"You're a clone! You're supposed to do what I say without question!"

The supposed clone turned and crossed its arms in a huff, grumbling, "Since when was this a tyranny?"

An exasperated Naruto casually flicked a kunai at the rebellious clone causing it to go up in a poof of white smoke. Turning around Naruto seemed unfazed that both Akeno and Rias were staring at him, each with their own shocked expressions etched into their faces.

Coherent thought coming back to her, Rias decided to ask the obvious, "So you can seemingly heal from any wound and clone yourself?"

Naruto shrugged as he slurped on the noodles the clone had fetched for him.

The urge far too strong to override, Rias put palm to face.

Akeno was meanwhile openly leering at her blond friend, mind running rampant with...ideas thanks to the knowledge that Naruto could heal from anything and clone himself, "Ara, ara, why didn't you tell me you could do all of that earlier Naruto-kun? We could have been having...fun together."

Naruto froze mid slurp as he stared into the hungry eyes of the raven haired teen.

'Oh shit! It's another Anko!'

'Run gaki! RUN!'

Before Rias could stop him, the blond teen ran off in terror, screaming about safe words and snake bites.

"...what did you do Akeno?"

"Ufufu, I have no idea what you're talking about Buchou. Though I must admit some of his ideas sounded lovely, don't you think?"

Having known Akeno for years now, Rias just shook her head and sighed, "Take Hyoudou-kun home Akeno, and please don't...tease the poor boy."

Insulted that her friend and King would think so lowly of her, Akeno pouted, "Mou~ I have standards Buchou. Besides Naruto-kun is so much more fun to tease, ufufu."

With her peace said, Rias' Queen activated their transportation seal and left the scene. Sighing to herself, Rias decided that she would have to wait till tomorrow to not only get her new Pawn integrated into the Peerage, but also to see how capable her blond classmate was and how much he knew in regards to the supernatural world.

Maybe even see if he was willing to join her Peerage.

Math class was boring, plain and simple. He knew very well how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. What use did he have for the quadratic equation? When would he ever need to know how to plot a point on a graph? Briefly he wondered if this was how Shikamaru felt back in their academy days.

Deciding to take a page from the book of said narcoleptic genius, Naruto folded his arms and placed his head atop them, his breathing becoming shallow as the nap took ahold of him.

A few desks to his right, Akeno giggled quietly as she witnessed the goofball casually begin to sleep right in the middle of class. Curious as to why her friend and Queen was laughing, Rias smiled and shook her head in amusement at seeing the snoozing form of Naruto.

Minutes later, the blond was roused from his dreams of ramen by a hand gently shaking his shoulder. Peeking a bleary sapphire eye open, Naruto was only slightly surprised to see both Akeno and Rias standing in front of him. Rising with a stretch and a yawn, the teen regarded the two beauties with a questioning gaze.

"I was wondering if you would come with us to our club room so we can talk about yesterday," Rias stated, unknowingly garnering the attention of the other students who were milling about.

Seeing the two most beautiful females of Kuoh talking to the handsome Prank King had the rumor mill already spinning. Hearing Rias, someone who rarely took the time to talk to anybody outside of her own circle, casually ask the resident goofball to possibly join her club was even more juicy.

Many girls cried out in despair at losing the chance to snag Naruto for themselves while the males joined them, knowing they had no chance against the blond who could so easily make friends with anybody.

Ignorant of his fellow students' plight, Naruto shrugged and rose from his seat, following behind Rias.

The rest of the school was sent into murmurs as they witnessed Naruto animatedly talking to Akeno who was giggling at whatever it was he was telling her while Rias looked to be smiling in amusement.

Arriving at the club room, Naruto raised a brow at the rather odd atmosphere. Candles serving as the only light source, other than the sunlight that peaked in through the thick curtains, and well furnished couches gave the room a rather creepy vibe. Then again Rias had said it was the Occult Research club.

Kami he hoped there wasn't going to be any ghosts involved.

"I'll explain everything as soon as the others get here. In the meantime make yourself at home," Rias casually stated as she made her way to the back of the room where there was a...shower?

Wait...was she stripping?

Naruto quickly averted his eyes with a furious blush staining his whiskered cheeks, "The hell are you doing!?"

Rias' voice came over the sound of rushing water, "I didn't have the time to shower as I was busy with everything last night so I'm doing it now."

Huffing, Naruto decided to ignore the fact that there was a rather attractive female showering in the same room, and instead turned to see Akeno walking up to him with a tray in her hands. Knowing how refreshing her tea was, Naruto was all too happy to take a cup and allow himself to sink into the comfy couch he was seated on.

"Any chance you can just tell me what's going on?" Naruto asked.

Akeno gave her usual smile, "Ara, ara, always so impatient Naruto-kun. Just have a little more patience and Buchou will answer your questions."

The hyperactive blond sighed, "I figured you were gonna say that. Worth a shot."

Thankfully salvation came in the form of a petite silver haired girl dressed in the standard Kuoh Academy uniform. For a moment, the two stared at each other with blank faces, Akeno and a freshly showered Rias wondering how their younger friend would react to Naruto.

Raising a hand, the younger teen pointed at the older teen's cheeks and blandly said, "Kitsune."

Deciding to mess with those in the room, Naruto channeled a small portion of his partner's chakra - enough to thicken his whiskers, sharpen his fangs, and turn his eyes into the crimson slits of the Kyūbi - and grinned, "Neko."

The other three were highly shocked to hear that in the span of a few seconds, Naruto had so easily figured out a secret they all kept rather guarded. Then again, if his new features and the younger girl's word was anything to go by, then it wasn't too far of a stretch to understand how he did it.

Kitsune were said to be masters of illusions and trickery, and with their enhanced senses, it would be nigh impossible to fool one.

'Koneko-chan has answered my question. But if that's the case then why hasn't she or anyone else been able to tell until now? Kitsune illusion?' Rias pondered to herself.

Koneko was however shocked for an entirely different reason. She had no problems with Kitsune or other Yokai in general, but now that she was so close to him, she could tell that Naruto possessed absolutely massive reserves of chakra. To make sure, she had used the senses she was gifted with thanks to being a Nekoshou, and was dumbfounded to feel how thick and overwhelming his chakra was.

It was even worse when she realized that there was the distinct feeling of two other chakra's perfectly mingling with Naruto's own. One she recognized far too easily, it was the chakra of Nature, the chakra of a Senjutsu user. The other was just as shocking. She couldn't recognize what exactly it was, but as she searched it out, Koneko was overwhelmed by the feelings of pure hatred and malice that threatened to suffocate her.

Shaking herself from her reverie, the young teen kept a wary eye on Naruto and sat away from him, her body tense and ready to jump into action.

It was this atmosphere that the effeminate Kiba and perverted Issei walked into. Naruto regarded the two males with a raised brow before carelessly shrugging and going back to enjoying his tea. He was however caught off guard as Rias began to explain to Issei what she had done to him, how she had essentially allowed him to die only to be reborn as a Devil in service to her.

The ensuing explanation about Fallen Angels, Angels, and the fact that all the other religious pantheons and mythical creatures were very much so real threw even Naruto for a loop. When everyone in the room suddenly grew wings - a shocked Issei included - Naruto childishly complained to his Bijū partner about the unfairness of the world.

"Wait, what about Naruto-senpai? Is he a devil too?" Issei asked as everyone took note of said blond muttering to himself about "People with super cool wings".

Allowing her wings to retract, Rias shook her head, "Uzumaki-kun is not a devil, but a youkai, a Kitsune if I'm not wrong."

Issei put fist to palm as if he had just solved a great mystery, "That explains the whiskers!"

Eyebrow twitching as the others began to chat about his foxy features as if he wasn't sitting in the same room as them, Naruto called out, "Oi! I'm no youkai! And I'm not a kitsune either!...I think!"

Confused glances were his answer.

"Ara, ara, then what are you Naruto-kun?" Akeno asked curiously.

Naruto scratched his head in thought, "I'm honestly not a hundred percent sure. The...uh...circumstances of my birth make me doubt I'm fully human so I can't really be sure," seeing Rias about to interject, Naruto continued, "But! I am sure that I am a shinobi."

"You mean like those guys in pajamas that run around going 'Nin, nin'?" Issei asked as he mimicked what he had seen in some manga.

Naruto immediately smacked him upside the head, "No you baka! I guess you could say we were more like...mercenaries. If you needed anything from help moving your stuff to having some high ranking official assassinated or information on a political opponent, we'd do it, for the right price."

That raised more than one brow. To think that the prank happy blond who was more than often seen with a grin on his face was actually someone who was capable of slitting someone's throat before they even knew what hit them was more than surprising. Then again it did answer the question of how he was able to so easily get away with his pranks and never get caught.

"You use chakra," Koneko stated blandly.

Those more versed in the knowledge of the supernatural - being Rias, Akeno, and Kiba - were even more surprised to hear that. There were few races who could use chakra, and those that could were known for feats that could even put some Devil Magic to shame.

Naruto shrugged, "Well yeah. Every shinobi does, except for one guy I knew. Something having to do with a birth defect, but he was still fast and strong enough to beat down most people." The blond was torn from his memories of bushy eyebrows and shoutings about the Flames of Youth! Rias coughing into her hand tore him from that trip down memory lane though, "Anyways, knowing how to use chakra was pretty much basic knowledge where I'm from."

Rias was highly curious as to where Naruto was from, as no one was really sure. No had ever seen the blond with any family members nor did he really talk about any. Still there were more pressing matters, like informing Issei of his new duties as a resurrected Devil of her peerage. Of course this also served a dual purpose, and was a great segue for finally revealing the real reason she had brought Naruto to the meeting.

Turning from the rest of her peerage, Rias regarded Naruto with a confident gaze and a smile, "So now that you know all this, I would like to formally ask if you'd like to join my peerage as well Uzumaki-kun."

"No thanks."

"Perfect! I'm thinking you'd be perfect as a Knight or Rook, but Bishop could work seeing as you can use chakra-"

"Um...Buchou?" Akeno interrupted. Seeing her friend's curious gaze, the ravenette continued, "Naruto-kun declined your offer..."

Everyone could see the proverbial gears turning in the red head's mind as Naruto's reply finally clicked.

"But...why not?" The pure blood Devil asked, bewildered to hear that someone, anyone, would turn her down, her Rias Gremory - possibly the most sought after and idolized student at Kuoh. On top of that, she was also the heiress to one of the last remaining pure blood Devil families, and as much as she didn't exactly enjoy it, that title usually afforded her sway with almost anyone, meaning she usually got what she wanted without much complaint.

Rejection, in any form, was something Rias was not exactly used to.

Naruto, not really caring for titles or any such petty things, shrugged, "Not a fan of taking orders from someone else. Besides that, the whole having to fulfill contracts thing is way too similar to D-rank missions, and I had enough of those for one lifetime, thank you very much."

Owlishly blinking, Rias was still struggling to come to terms with the fact she was being told no, "But you could become a Devil, become even stronger than you are now. With enough time you could even move up in rank and make your own Peerage."

Naruto shrugged his shoulders as he rose from his seat and folded his arms behind his head, "Eh, if I need to get stronger I'll just up my training or something. And I was never a fan of all that high society bull crap. It was cool hanging with you guys, ja ne!"

No one moved a muscle as the blond waltzed out the door, being just as shocked as their King that someone had so casually turned down an offer to become a Devil, a Devil under Rias Gremory no less.

"Ufufu, Naruto-kun sure is an interesting one."

Later that night, an exhausted Issei Hyoudou was making his way home, mentally going over everything that had happened within the past two days.

First he finally gets himself a cute girlfriend only for said girl to turn into what he now knew to be a Fallen Angel who had proceeded to kill him with some spear of light. He had died! Of course waking up this morning to find himself very much so alive and no one remembering who Yuuma was had driven him to the brink of insanity.

The day only great stranger when he was approached by "Prince of Kuoh", one Kiba Yuuto. If that wasn't weird enough, he was taken by the bishounen to the old school building where he was then told by Rias Gremory, that she had resurrected him as a Devil in service to her.

The beauty then went on to explain how Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, and even Demons were very much so real and that he was now involved in that world.

Honestly, it was all too much to take in.

The young teen was pulled from his musings when he accidentally bumped into a figure garbed in a trench coat and wearing a fedora.

Turning, Issei bowed to the figure, "Gomenasai, I wasn't looking where I was going."

The figure scoffed, "Tch, of course you Devils have no manners."

Issei's eyes widened, shocked that he had apparently bumped into someone who knew of his new status.

Titling his head up to reveal the face of an older male, the trench coat wearing figure continued, "But what's this? No master? No friends? Well if it isn't just my luck, I seem to have bumped into a little Stray!" Grinning madly, the man held up his hand, a blue spear of light forming, "Now don't move! I, Dohnaseek, will try and make this as painless as possible!"

Seeing the now familiar weapon of light energy, Issei could do nothing but panic, falling on his ass and merely staring at the quickly approaching weapon.

'No! No! Not again!' Issei screamed in his head.

His pleas were answered, in the form of a shoe suddenly smashing into the older man's face, sending him tumbling away.

"Jeez, and I thought I was a trouble magnet!"

Looking up, Issei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the familiar sunny blond locks of his older schoolmate, "Naruto-senpai! I've never been so happy to see you!"

Looking at the crying brunette, Naruto sighed, "If I didn't know you were the second biggest pervert I've ever met, I'd be worried about what you meant by that."

Naruto dodged to side a second later, narrowly dodging a spear of light that would have otherwise pierced straight through his skull. He was pretty confident in his healing ability, but didn't really feel like testing to see if it could heal his brain.

Spitting out a glob of blood, the now hatless Dohnaseek glared, "So the Stray has a friend after all! No matter, you can die toge-"

The Fallen Angel was harshly interrupted when Naruto's fist plowed into his face, sending him into a nearby try with enough force to splinter it.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, 'I'm gonna kill you', 'You don't know who you're messing with', and all that. I've heard it all at least a dozen times. Can't you evil villain people come up with something original?"

'Says the idiot who ran around shouting 'Believe it!' at the top of his longs for a few years,' the Kyūbi mocked.

'Quiet you!' Tuning out the sounds of his tenant's laughter, Naruto was surprised to see the Fallen Angel actually getting up. He was far from being on par with Tsunade or even Sakura, but even he knew he was capable of throwing some rather nasty punches. With a sigh, the blond casually stepped to the side and stretched out his hand, easily catching the spear of light that had been thrown at him. Slightly curious, the Jinchūriki began to inspect the energy weapon, wondering how it maintained its shape.

Meanwhile, both Issei and Dohnaseek were gaping in surprise as the blond poked and prodded the light spear like a child with a new toy. Their jaws dropped further when Naruto carelessly tossed the spear away like it wasn't a dangerous weapon.

Before anyone else could make a move, familiar - to Naruto and Issei - array of seals and runes appeared. From the glowing circle came a stern faced Rias Gremory. Seeing Naruto, the beauty raises a brow before turning to address the still kneeling Fallen.

"As the heiress to the Gremory house and protector of this territory, I hope you didn't think I'd allow you to harm one of my cute little servants."

Sneering, the Fallen Angel rose to his feet and began to dust himself off, "If I were you, I'd make sure your little pets were kept on a tighter leash, wouldn't want something to accidentally...happen to them."

In response, the young Devil narrowed her eyes and began to call on the power that had made her brother a force to be reckoned with, a power they inherited from their mother.

"You would do well not to threaten me or my servants or I'll show you why we of the Gremory clan are not to be taken lightly."

Naruto mentally whistled in appreciation upon feeling the violent power that his classmate was so easily commanding and using to intimidate her foe. Though there wasn't a lot of it, what was there was dense and prominent enough to put those in the area on their toes. Whatever it was, it was powerful and Rias apparently knew how to use it to some extent.

'I say it's pathetic. Even that insane idiot Shukaku was far more intimidating than some foolish little girl and her fancy little light show,' Kurama groused.

Sweat dropping, Naruto simply retorted, 'Yeah, but you and the other Bijū are pretty much power incarnate. I doubt even these Devils or whatever could really be put on the same level as you guys.'

'Bah, excuses. Wake me up when something actually interesting happens.'

Still Naruto had to admit his Bijū was right. Sure now that he could feel Rias actively drawing on whatever energy Devils used, while impressive from an outside looking in point of view, it wasn't really all that impressive. Then again, after going against Nagato and his Rinnegan that had decimated the literal entirety of Konoha in a single move, he was pretty hard to impress. All in all, going by his standards, Naruto had to say that the red haired beauty was around chunin, maybe low Jounin level.

However Dohnaseek seemed to actually be wary of whatever power Rias was using and scoffed before using his blackened angel wings to flee the area. Ignoring Issei, Rias turned curious blue-green eyes to Naruto, "What are you doing here Uzumaki-kun?"

In turn, the Jinchūriki shrugged, "Just happened to be in the area when I saw idiot over there about to get skewered again. Since I goofed up the first time, I figured I'd give it a shot again."

Issei sat on the ground, bemoaning the way not only Naruto was addressing him, but he fact that Rias was pretty much ignoring his existence. It was actually pretty sad to see the young pervert all but bawling his eyes out. Was that a snot bubble? Eww.

Smiling, Rias asked, "Does this mean you've changed your mind and want to join my Peerage?"

Naruto shook his head, "Nope. Felt I owed it to the perv and all." Seeing the downtrodden look on his classmate's flawless face, the blond was internally punching himself. With a sigh, the teenage shinobi caved, "But...I will help you guys out if you need it. After all, I guess we're friends now, right?"

Looking at the simultaneously cheesy, yet endearing smile plastered across his whiskered cheeks, Rias could do nothing but flash her own, "Right. We're friends now."

'It's a step I guess. Besides this way I can have more chances to convince him to join me,' the voluptuous redhead declared to herself. One way or another, Uzumaki Naruto would join her Peerage or she wasn't Rias Gremory!

Unbeknownst to her, her friendship with Naruto Uzumaki would drastically alter events that had yet to happen. Whether those changes were good or bad, was a matter of perspective. The one undeniable fact in this situation though was that life for Rias and those around the blond Jinchūriki had just gotten a whole lot more interesting.

AN: Welcome to the end of the chapter! Enjoyed it? Want more? Have questions? Comments? Have a genuine critique or thought in how I can better improve? Leave a review! Want something answered ASAP? Shoot me a pm! Don't like me? Hate my style of writing? You can do either of the former but as previously stated, I will share it with my friends and we will all laugh and giggle derisively at your tiny internet penis.

Now I know I said Naruto won't be god mode, but allow me to clarify. As of right now, in this very beginning of the story, he won't be close to being on the level of the Maou or any other such powerful being.

However! Naruto is host to a Bijū which in the Naruto-verse and in my mind, are just split pieces of a primordial God. Not only that, he is also the transmigrant of one of the sons of the Rikudō Sennin, a god tier being. What's that all add up to? Naruto does indeed have the lineage and genetics necessary to reach and even surpass the Maou and other such powerhouses. As such, he will eventually grow to reach that level.

I don't want to spend so much time on power levels, as I find it all rather stupid. I won't throw math, science, or whatever at you, because that's not what the characters are about. Naruto's strength has always been his durability, never say die attitude, and sheer stubbornness. He is a character who grows stronger out of a drive to better himself and be able to better protect his precious people. You can not quantify the will to fight and defy the status quo with numbers or anything.

That all said, the harem will change and grow. The for sure members as of now are Rias, Akeno, and Grayfia. Kuroka and others may be added. Who will be added will ultimately be decided by myself. If you want to send me a message why a certain girl would logically work well with Naruto, feel free. I'm willing to hear you out and talk it out. In this case, ONLY PMS. I don't want the reviews section flooded with calls for certain females to be added. It just adds clutter and makes any significant review mark I reach feel somewhat hollow when more than half of them are "Add Gabriel!" "Xenovia should be in the harem." "What about Koneko!?"

Thank you for taking the time to read my writings. Hope you enjoyed and I wish you a good day or whatever. Fuck bitches get money *air horns*

PEACE

OUT!
